Our summer in pictures

Wow, it really has been a while since I posted,  but I have a valid excuse.   Our computer is dead...lightning got it.   We have had a crazy and fun summer so far.   VBS, County fair, July 4th tractor pull, Church camp and much more.    I am just going to post so pics of all fun...Enjoy!

Loving the smoke at the tractor pull.

Sharing some corn.

All that playing at camp makes you thirsty.

First time at a laundry mat...they were fascinated .

Blakes favorite part of camp.

A perfect summer sky.

Sorry about the crazy layout, but I am doing this from my ipad and I have know idea how to get my post the way I want them.     Sure hope the rest of you are having a great summer.  We go on vacation next week and then I have to get everything ready to start teaching Piper Kindergarten.   :)

Summer is here!

Well summer has arrived in Iowa and we are loving it.   I have gotten back on my cleaning schedule,  so mornings are cleaning and laundry...and afternoons are for crafts, naps and playing outside.    We are trying to make this summer very fun.

I found a recipe for Puff paint on Pinterest,   Equal amounts if Elmer's Glue and shaving cream and a few drops of food coloring.   Stir until you get stiff peaks and them paint to your hearts content.   Takes awhile to dry,   but so much fun.

Mr. Blake in need of a haircut.

He is not a baby anymore...he is now his Daddy's mini me.

Summer evenings are great for family walks down the dirt road and taking time to pick the clover.

It is also the time for kite flying.       Hope you all are having a great start to your summer,   Stay safe.

Spring has sprung...

 My nephew came for a visit, so of course we had to take some pictures of these cousins together.

 Two five year old, they are only four months apart.

 Here is Miss Piper on Easter...she is getting too big.

And of course the duo...double trouble, double fun, double the love.

Easter 2014

Life is moving on!

Piper had some dental work done at the hospital last week,  she loved being entertained by the clown before had.    Kudos to the hospital for this..it was great.

My three loves are growing so fast.

We are loving that spring is slowly making its way to the Midwest.

These two love laundry baskets.

Life with these two...never dull!

 One of Brenna's favorite "toys" is a pop up laundry hamper from the Dollar Tree...can we say cheap fun.

 And now we find Blake in the "junk bucket" (used to hold items that cannot be burned).

 Somebody was thirsty and Piper's juice just happened to be left on the table.

 Brenna loves her some Veggie Straws...Yummy!

And of course we have bumps and bruises...what, you mean you don't dive out of the chair head first into a basket of toys?   

Hello!

 Hello from cold snowy Iowa...we are in fact still alive.    Sorry for the unplanned blogging absence, but I do have a great excuse...a 5year old, two 14 month olds and tax season(my husband owns a business(craziness).         I did try to post these pics last week but blogger was be difficult.    Taking the duos pics is a work out...I hope you enjoy the ones I did get. 

Look how far we have come!

 One year ago...they were so tiny.    

 Look how far they have come.

 So thirsty!

Haha!  Piper left her gate open...what can I get into.

Christmas Recap

 Discovering all the presents Christmas morning.

 Who needs toys when you can play with boxes.

 Stroller for Brenna...chew toy?

 Piper got Uncle Matt and Aunt Beka fish food...for her fish cousins.

 Daddy and Brenna taking a break from all the excitement.

And the guys both got gun cases.  Eric say's next year he will buy his own case and ask Santa to fill it. 

"All my dreams can true" she said.  Piper was very excited that Santa brought her Cuddles.

Happy Birthday Babies!
